A Coast Guard Air Station Miami HC-144 Ocean Sentry airplane crew and the Coast Guard Cutter Kathleen Moore crew assisted in the search for the missing man.

Eleven Cuban migrants discovered Monday on Big Pine Key reported to Customs and Border Protection that they left Thursday from Cuba with 12 people aboard a chug, and one man was separated from the group after entering the water Saturday.
